i got a whole announcement there you go hey look man we got to make sure it's official man like people know what's happening all right but you know announcement before yeah yeah man with everybody you know i'm sitting here with the man the myth and the blind mr angelo lee how you doing brother i'm well sir how are you hey i'm stupendous man i'm stupendous man so you know i'm bringing you here man because you you're one of the all-stars on the team uh superstar uh completely crushed on this program and i want to give
people some insight on what it's like on their side so uh let's just take it from the top what was your health and fitness like before you started this program ah that's a good question so i think for me um in the midst of covet it was pretty sedentary uh not really getting out much because of everything was in lockdown not really doing much in the house and all i was really doing was watching tv and eating and so because of that i had an increase in weight and that was the life for i think
a lot of us over the last kind of year or so an intentional blow up just like i'm an attentional blow up that's right sitting and eating man so for you like what interested you in the program in the first place so i think for me part of the thought and experience was really making sure or realizing rather that i wanted to have a change i was tired of just sitting and eating i wanted to become active again i wanted to get out the house again and i wanted to have the opportunity to um really
make meaningful change in my life i wanted to do that through fitness and so i decided to reach out to armstrong fitness and talk to you a little bit about just my goals and aspirations i wanted to get understanding of kind of meal plans and preps and what i could do to balance nutrition in addition to fitness and all of that helping to decide to get on the program and uh and stick with it got it man got it cool cool and so for you like first impressions uh you know what was it like were
you skeptical you excited were you nervous kind of tell me a little bit about that i think for me i was nervous only in the sense that for me it was the first time doing virtual training and so all the other experiences i've had in the past have been kind of a face-to-face experience i didn't know what to expect virtually but i think having the opportunity to really sit down with you initially and talk through the nuances of what to expect this is the meal plan these are the weekly trainings this is how i will
check in on you um checked in every day on me and so um getting that type of feedback i think is really what helped me to make connections and being able to really have questions and have those weekly meetings with you as well um really helped to make the difference glad i could help brother yes sir and uh i guess you know the the next logical thing is you know how would you describe your overall experience your time during the program and like what difference has it made in your health and fitness throughout this time
and even in your lifestyle as a whole like what differences have you noticed so i think for me one of the the main changes is that i'm a lot more aware of how active i am but also how much and what i'm eating um i never really thought about it before and if i did i i probably was just careless i was like oh forget i'ma eat it anyway yeah but now i'm a lot more cognizant of what i'm eating because of course you have us counting our macros and i've become very proficient at doing
that thinking about carbs and calories and fats and all that but then i also um started to notice differences incrementally over time and so i think that was something that kept me motivated and so i think i struggled in the first couple of weeks of really getting into the nuance of working out and training but after like the third or fourth week really sticking to the meal plan and sticking to the workouts started to make a difference and so for me that motivated me to continue working out to continue seeing changes and i think over
time it was less of working now because corey told me to to this is something i want to do for myself because i want to be healthy and be fit so it was an evolution of my mindset in the process of working with you over the last few months cool any major differences you notice in your life as a whole um so i dropped about 25 pounds so that's a major difference and i think really just nutritionally uh being conscious conscious of what i'm eating i think that's another thing that really um has changed as
a result of working with you and just knowing um really how and when to ask for help if i needed it along the way and i think that's something that transcends not only this experience but just in life in general making sure to reach out um and ask for help when needed but with regard to fitness i think in addition to what i mentioned already just really being conscious and aware of my body and how it's changing and how i can make myself better cool and one last thing what would you say to somebody who's
hesitant to apply to join the program if you're hesitant to apply you need to wave all those worries out the window because as long as you follow the plan that's set out for you you will be 100 successful i am living proof of that um and i support 100 percent strong fitness because it wonders for me and i think it can do the same for everyone else oh man that's you're too kind brother i appreciate the kind words but the truth is the truth so yeah man and i'm glad uh i'm glad i could help
you assist you and get into your goals and beyond brother congratulations man thank you sir i appreciate it sorry yes sir this is signing out now y'all
